HUSBAND and wife team Mark and Louise Polley want to share their love for Australia's great outdoors with Toowoomba.

Discovery Coaches is their newly-opened coach and travelling company which specialises in charters and tours for groups in Toowoomba and surrounds.

They met driving coaches and have more than 36 years experience in the industry.

Mr Polley is the son of the late Duncan Polley (Polleys Coaches) and said he inherited his dad's passion for travelling and adventure.

"Australia has so much to offer. We love to show our customers what this country's got," Mr Polley said.

He said the advantage of coach travel was getting to see the "real character of the country" on the road.

"We'll be driving the tours. The good thing about that is we know what people like and can design the tours around that," Mrs Polley said.

Discovery Coaches caters for a wide range of corporate and non-corporate groups including schools, sport groups, private groups, business travel, corporate and government charters and worker transfers.
